How to consume 14" pepperoni pizza (thick crust) without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the amount of pizza you eat in one sitting. Opt for one or two slices instead of more, and save the rest for later.

Balance with Protein and Fiber

Include a protein source, like grilled chicken or fish, and a fiber-rich side, such as a mixed green salad with a light vinaigrette or steamed vegetables, to slow digestion.

Choose Thin Crust

Next time, opt for a thin crust pizza instead of thick crust to reduce carbohydrate intake and minimize spikes.

Add Vegetables

Topping your pizza with vegetables like bell peppers, mushrooms, onions, or spinach can add fiber and nutrients, helping to moderate the spike.

Hydrate

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal to help with digestion and maintain hydration, which can aid in stabilizing blood sugar levels.

Include Healthy Fats

Pair your meal with healthy fats such as avocado slices or a handful of nuts, which can help slow the absorption of carbohydrates.

Increase Physical Activity

Go for a light walk after your meal to help your body utilize glucose more effectively and aid in digestion.

Monitor Timing

Eat your pizza earlier in the day rather than late at night, as your body's ability to manage glucose can be more effective when you are active.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and savor your meal, which can help prevent overeating and give your body time to signal when it’s full.

Monitor and Plan

Keep track of your blood sugar levels to understand how different foods affect your body and plan meals accordingly to mitigate future spikes.
